BILL NUMBER:S7819A
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 552 of the laws of 1995 amending the education law relating to contracts for the transportation of school children, in relation to the effectiveness thereof
Purpose
This legislation would extend existing law that enables school districts to amend transportation contracts to comply with new laws or regulations or to increase student safety.
Summary of provisions
This bill would amend section 2 of chapter 552 of the laws of 1995 as last amended by chapter 267 of the laws of 2007 to extend the effective date until January 1, 2014.
Justification
This law allows school districts to amend transportation contracts to comply with new federal, state or local laws or regulations or to implement changes in school bus technology that will enhance student safety. Without this law, contracts might have to be rebid in these circumstances, wasting school district resources. The amendments are subject to the approval of the commissioner, and cannot add to the state or school district's cost for the contract or be used to circumvent a required competitive process. This law has been extended repeatedly since 1995.
Legislative history
This is a new bill; however, this provision has previously been extended in:
2007: Chapter 267 2004: Section 64 of Part C of Chapter 57 2001: Chapter 573 1998: Chapter 356
This provision originally became law in 1995 as Chapter 552.
Fiscal implications
This bill is not expected to have any cost to the state.
Effective date
Immediately.
